- sadamznintern 8y agoIt’s honestly really funny how a lot of people, even the folks on HN, have no idea how the elites live and how much better their lives are than the rest of us. People that work at JS (and 5R and 2S and to a lesser extent FB and Google) have their pick of jobs because they are a hot commodity. The rest of us aren’t so lucky because we have no signal to suggest we are brilliant and likely don’t have the intellectual ability to pass similar coding interviews. It’s tough.
- danellis 8y agoWhat are 5R and 2S?
- jxub 8y agoProbably Rentech and Two Sigma. First one is a guess.
- sur 8y agoI'd guess 5R is Five Rings Capital, not Rentech.
- sadamznintern 8y ago5 Rings and Two Sigma.
- senatorobama 8y ago5R literally not on the same plane. Parent trying to namedrop?!
- sadamznintern 8y agoI mentioned it because I'm pretty sure the parent I was responding to works there...
- elago 8y agoMy life's fine and more importantly I sleep great at night and am proud to tell anyone what I do for work. I've completely plateaued on the happiness vs money graph and you couldn't pay me enough at this point to take a job in the finance or defense industry.
- sadamznintern 8y agoSadly I think I"m far from plateued on the happiness vs. money graph right now even while I work on consumer products used my millions around the world. I really don't make enough to live the elite lifestyle these people do at $145k tc.

- JeremyBanks 8y agoJudging by the rampant drug abuse in the valley, they aren't all finding the happiness peak either.
- sadamznintern 8y agoI dunno, is drug abuse rampant at FB/Google/top startups? I have doubts. People there seem pretty happy (and sidenote, very photogenic) on their instagrams.
- taybin 8y agoThey don't post the bad photos onto instagram. You really need to figure this out or you're going to be chasing other people's dreams. All your comments just talk about how you want to make more money, when you're already making a lot of money.
- zootam 8y agoits clear they are seeking external validation and status. money is only a part of that validation.
